 This one was a really tough choice. Both of the Irredeemable covers this Paul Azaceta cover and this one by Dan Panosian are absolutely stellar. And I didn't think I was *ever* going to say this, but these amazing Fables covers by Joao Ruas make me not miss James Jean so much!
But even in the face of some stiff competition.... mmmmm Darwyn. We love you the most.

We are huge fans of Mike Del Mundo's latest cover and also this Batman: Widening Gyle cover by by Bill Sienkiewicz... but really, who could deny yet another amazing cover by the incredible Dave Johnson?
You rock, Dave!

 it's another tough week for the staff to pick our most beloved comic cover, what with a killer J.G. Jones cover for First Wave, our absolute favorite True Story Swear to God cover, and this amazing Jonah Hex cover by Billy Tucci. But mmmm... Becky Cloonan gets our tastebuds tingling and delivers up another DEMO cover we adore!

 Could we be prouder?
Will Dinski, the talented and always affable winner winner (can you hear that echo in here?) of the 2009 Isotope Award for Excellence in Mini-Comics for his great work... is featured this week on Top Shelf Comix website's new 2010 Releases page for his first original graphic novel. We couldn't be happier to see our guy picked up by one of our favorite publishers and hitting the bigtime!

 It was tough to pick favorites this week, especially with a great Tony Harris Starman Omnibus cover hitting the stands today too. But Black Widow in a Bubble-Helmet? How could we resist this?!
